Key Skills
I am passionate about level design and have many years of community level design experience. Drawing from this experience, I have a solid understanding of both the technical aspects of level design editing and a strong understanding of gameplay and what elements of a level design keeps a player engaged, fairly challenged and entertained.
I have experience developing for a number of platforms including PC, Playstation 2 and Nintendo Wii. I have experience working to memory and frame time budgets and how to fully optimize work for each platform from gameplay and technical perspectives.
In addition to level design experience I have an advanced programming skillset through my university studies, and have experience in a number of specialist areas including graphical (both offline and realtime), gameplay, AI physics programming, and advanced object oriented software design.
